Stark Metropolitan Narcotics agents arrested two men and seized bricks totaling more than 62 pounds of marijuana during two traffic stops Wednesday evening.

Steven J. Hight Jr., 25, of 1038 Prospect Ave. SW, was arrested at 5:30 p.m. when he was pulled over at 19th Street and Maple Avenue NW, Stark County Jail records said.

An Ohio Highway Patrol trooper working with the narcotics unit pulled over his gold 2003 GMC Yukon and smelled marijuana coming from it. His K-9 partner, Storm, indicated drugs were inside the vehicle, and a short time later, officers found 16 kilograms (35.4 pounds) of bulk marijuana, the jail records said.

Less than two hours later, metro agents seized a "raw brick" of marijuana weighing 12 kilograms, or 26.7 pounds.

Jail records said that when agents pulled over Kevin A. Wike, 24, of 2923 16th St. NW, at 7:25 p.m. Wednesday at 12th Street and Worley Place NW, they found the brick of marijuana in a black trash bag in the trunk of the vehicle he was driving.

Each man was jailed on charges of marijuana trafficking and possession, and bond was set at $100,000 apiece, jail records said.

Wike posted bond hours after his arrest and was released pending a hearing in Canton Municipal Court. Hight remained in the jail early Thursday, also awaiting a court hearing.
